The most precious one..

    My most precious things of all is my literature books.... No just kidding..! I usually don't really have extremely important things because I always throw away my stuff... but, there is just one thing I really..really love. I can never ever live without it.
  
   It is the most soft than any teddybear dolls and it is quite large. It doesn't have any legs or arms obviously.. and its colors are white and purple. Everytime I'm with it, I get sleepy and warm then I sleep. I always have it with me when I sleep, and when do internet. Yeah, it's obvious. My blanket is what I really really consider as important. :)

   It is so important because I can never sleep without it. It is also really soft that I always rub it in my face :) Its colors are purple and white which are my two favorite colors and my grandma bought for me. She is really sick right now and the blanket reminds me of her. I will probably keep this blanket until I die :)

How do I write my blog sometimes..?

  Ok... as I'm writing this, my eyes are half opened, and my mind is just blank. I keep thinking I should write about something... something really interesting.. but nothing comes into my mind. I look around my room thinking of topics to write about. Looking front, right, left, and back, I see bed, computer, television, desk, and so on. But I still can't find what to write. I was absent-minded for thirty minutes and still could find nothing. I keep thinking "should I write about my parents?" then I answer "no but that's too personal..". Then I think, "Then should I write about what I really love to eat?" and I answer " no then I will have toooo many things to write about".
 
  I look at the internet searching for what to write. Then I see some funny news about celebrities which I click the link and read and read. I giggle, gossip to my self and  find out thirty minutes are already gone. I slap my face and close the website and I start to think about my blog.

  I get back to the blog writing and see nothing written. More and more, I get frustrated and think maybe I could write about how pizza is made. I suddenly remember that I had some pizza that was left over and eats it thinking I will have a great idea for the blog by then. I finish eating it, and I come back to the computer thinking I got an idea. I stare at the monitor, my hands on the keyboard, and freeze. I hear the clock tik tok tik tok and I breathe out deeply. Then I start to write about how I write my blog sometimes..............


 
 

Trip to Yangpyeong!!

   It was the first time to know that there was "Yangpyeong" in Korea for me because I don't really travel in Korea a lot..  SPPA finally!,,, finally decided to give the students a good and fun day. Yeah of course I was waiting for this day to come because it's so much better than just sitting in class bored..:) haha

  Anyway, so all of the students and teachers headed to the Yangpyeong by the buses and we were all asleep. I really had a great time in the bus because I slept like I was in my bed. When we all arrived to the place, I was still really sleepy and couldn't open my eyes on the sun. But, I was excited that I was going to eat something since it's lunch time. I waited... and waited...

  Then suddenly, people started crowding "ajumma" who works there. She was making tofu which was the first time for me to see how it's made. I was kind of really surprised to see how it's made because it's 100% pure, and healthy tofu. We all ate a very healthy food which was because I don't really have to worry about the calories :) But, I can never eat like that for the rest of my life because I go crazy if I don't eat meet. I love meet a lot.

  After the lunch, we also made Injulmi and I was also surprised to see it was made of just rice and some kind of flour and I was thinking "I'm I really a Korean?..".  I felt like I was a foreigner when I saw how it was made because I knew nothing..:) This was probably new to all the teachers and I really wondered what they would think about the culture.

  We also went to pick some fresh strawberries which I really loved. I couldn't stop eating them because they were soooo delicious. They are really expensive when I have to buy them in markets, and that's why I ate them until my stomach was about to burst. I had so much fun eating them with Miss Stolerman. We both kept feeding only the baby rabbits because they were so cute :)


  Lastly, we went to the train bicyling which I loved the most!!! We all banged each other which was awesome. I especially liked it when the speed was really fast.

  So, overall, it was a good trip although I was really sleepy all day. It was a good experience and I will never forget this day!

Friends or Family?

  Friends and family are both really important to me. However, I really feel comfortable and more related to friends. Friends are much eaiser and fun to talk to. They understand me better and know how I feel. When I tell my family how I feel, they do not really listen. :) Usually when I meet with my best friends, I tell them about my family, and myself a lot. I don't really talk about my friends to my parents because they are not interested. Friends are also even open minded. I can do many fun things such as sleepovers and more. Parents don't really like me to do sleepovers and have fun outside. I guess they just want me to stay at home with them but no way! haha...
 
  One day, I was really depressed and my mom asked me why. Although I wasn't in a mood of telling her, I told her everything about what had happened that day because I thought she would understand me. However, she said that she can't really do anything to help me because she was in asleep. I just told her everything and I regreted that I told her!.. All she did was sleeping.... But, I understand because she was really tired that day..... Anyway, so then I went to my best friend and told her how I felt about that day, and my mother! She comforted me and I found out she had the same problem with me which I really felt that she really cares about me . Of course, my parents support me too:)

  I love my both family and friends!!!

What is a good hair?

   Recently, I have watched a show from Tyra Banks which talked about 'Good hair". When I watched it, I just thought it would talk about best celeb hairstyles and so on... But it wasn't. It was very sad to me because it was an emotinal topic. I know people wouldn't understand why I say the show was sad, but I was kind of shocked to see how some people felt about their hair.

  In a black community, many black people consider bad hair as a puffy hair. In the show, it said that most black people's natural hair are tightly poofy. But, what I think it's sad is that many of them do not like their natural hair and put weave, or chemical instead even from when they are very young.
 



(natural hair)

   In the Tyra Banks Show, there were about five mothers who straightened their children's hair even when they are still really young. In the show, there was a four year old girl who had her hair straightened by her mom but cried the whole time she got her hair straightened. After her hair was done, she started smiling in the mirror. The smile from the girl was painful rather than happy when I watched it. I really think her mother shouldn't have done that to her when she cried the whole time she had her hair straightened. Although she smiled at last, it felt like her mom forced her to do it. I also think that any four year old girl look pretty with any kinds of hair........

   This doesn't mean that they shouldn't do anything to their hair, but I really hope they feel confident and proud of what they are born with. It is good to have new hairstyles with weaves and chemicals, but everyone's natural hair is beautiful. I hope many black women realize how beautiful their hair is and not be too stressed about it.

   From my experience, I have met many black women when I was in Kenya. Many of them did not like their hair and told me they wished to have hair like mine. I always thought that non of them were ugly with their hair.  I just want to say that everyone looks beautiful, hot, and sexy with their natural hair!!

The weirdest taxi driver ever..!!

  This was about two and a half years ago when I was in China. When I was in China, I lived in a place where there are many Koreans, Japanese, and other foreign people. Early in the morning, I had to go to meet my friends in the weekend. I always had to take a taxi to go to a town because there were no buses.  From my experience in China, there were some people who really hated Japanese because of the history and so on... Obviously it's not a very good thing. So the story starts.....
 
  So I had to catch a taxi and waited on a very sunny day for a taxi. I was really in a hurry because I was kind of late. I finally caught this old taxi and got in. I told the driver to go to the "Justco" which was about 30 minutes long with a taxi. Of course I said it in Chinese although I wasn't good at Chinese :) About a half way to the Justco, the driver asked me if I was from Japan. (I was often mistaken as a Japanese when I was in China.) I was so bored that I said I was from Japan. I mean, I just wanted to joke with him.

  In the front mirror of the car, I saw his face with an anger. I had no idea what that was for but he looked at me as if he was going to kill me!. I was really nervous and he shouted that I get out of the car. He stopped the car and he told me to get out of the taxi. I was kind of surprised and said that I was Korean. He still didn't believe me and argued that I was Japanese. He was so angry that I couldn't argue with him any more. I got off the taxi, very humiliated and caught another taxi in the middle of the road. I felt kind of cheated and ignored. Good thing was that I did not pay for the taxi and I paid less to the second taxi I got on.

 Up to now, I still don't understand why he did that because even if I was a Japanese, he shouldn't have treated me that way. Anway, I think he is really weird...... I just hope he doesn't treat like that to other Japanese people!

Mean Girls 2

  Mean girls 2 is a comedy and romance movie played by Johanna (Jo) the main character, Amanda (Mandi), Abigail (Abby), Tyler Adams. The story starts with Jo who is a tomboy girl with her dad, an engineer. She goes to a high school and she gets attention from people for being pretty. In the school, there is the most poplular girl called Amanda and her two followers always being mean to Abby, a very rich girl because they are jealous. Jo once helps Abby run away from the mean girls and goes to Abby's house. Abby's dad sees Jo and secretly asks her to be Abby's bodyguard for lots of money. Jo agrees and she becomes close to Abby. They become best friend and the mean girls start to pick on Jo.


(The three mean girls)

 Jo falls in love with Tyler Adams, who is Mandi's stepbrother but Mandi feels insulted. Jo becomes more and more popular and she becomes mean to people. She forgets who she is and all her friends. However, Tyler tells her that she has changed and he doesn't like the way she is mean to others just like Mandi. Jo becomes guilty and realizes she has changed. Mandi keeps trying to break Jo and Tyler up by damaging Jo's dad's car. Jo and Abby become mad and revenge Mandi by inviting everyone in Abby's house when it's Mandi's birthday. Mandi finds no one at her party and revenges Jo. She steals school's money and tells the principle that Jo stole the money. Jo is about to get expelled but the principal finally finds out that Mandi was the one who stole. Mandi gets arrested and the movie ends happily.

 At first, I was really interested in the movie because I really liked the way the mean girls are being mean to others. They really acted mean and I could definately tell that they were "plastics" in the school. I also liked how Jo acted really tough towards the mean girls which started to get interesting. Definately, I liked the part where Jo and Tyler get along because they were a very fine couple. :)

(Tyler and Jo)
 However, I did not like the ending of the movie.... The ending was just so obvious. I expected the ending to be something that no one would have expected to happen. Although it was a happy ending, I think it would have been better if the mean girls realized what they did wrong.

 I would compare the mean girls 2 with the House Bunny. House Bunny is also a movie that is about popularity. Shalie from House bunny goes to a college dormetry to be the house mother. Seven nerdy girls live together in a big dorm but the dorm is about to be removed because nobody wants to live with them. They must get at least 30 people to live there. Shalie tries to make people live in the dorm by changing the girls into very hot and sexy. They all gain confidence and many people want to join the house. However, the girls turn mean and pick them by appearances. They soon realize that they have changed into mean girls and stop being mean.  They both relate because the girls change really mean when they become popular. However, they learn that they were being wrong to others and they become kind again.

After


  The Mean Girls 2 give a message that being popular and mean doesn't lead you to anything but failure. It also says that minority unpopular girls get hurt by mean girls because of how they are judged by appearance. I think it is a good message because many young people judge others on facial appearances.

I really want to sing..!!

  When I was little, I really wanted to sing well in front of people so that I can get attention from them and feel good about myself. First of all, I'm really bad at singing. My voice doesn't come out the way I want when I really want to sing like Beyonce..haha :) I'm afraid to sing infront of people because I know I will mess the song. I think in Korea, singing is what most men and women want to be good at yet in America, dancing is what most men and women want to be good at. I want to be good at both:)

  Do I really need to take a vocal lesson? I think I should take it because it's one way to gain confidence and feel good about myself. I know everyone has their own talents, like I can design clothes, but it seems I always look for more talents.

 Last year, I met Buyoung in our school and I was really inspired by her singing like a singer. She really sings well and I can never sing in front of her :) Although I can't sing like that, I just want at least to sing ok. Or, I just hope people to never dare me sing infront of them... My face gets red and my heart beats really fast when I sing in front of people or even a friend because  I am scared to death that they will laugh at me. By this you can tell how bad I am in singing...
